The Steering Group sets the agenda for Ministerial Conferences, and includes Ministerial and Senior Official level representation from Australia, Indonesia, New Zealand and Thailand and senior representatives of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
The group directs changes to the Bali Process governance – for example, determining any expansion to the Ad Hoc Group membership, and acts as an oversight mechanism across the Bali Process’ activities and priorities, with the Ad Hoc Group reporting to Bali Process Senior Official Co-Chairs through the Steering Group.
